Winter in the Capital City is still just as cold.
Even though the season has now reached the late winter, almost turning to spring, the chill in the evenings remains below freezing.
This climate means that in this rundown village without central heating and air conditioning, the only way to bring a sliver of warmth is by adding wood and coal to the stove.
Because there's no electricity here, and it's mainly elderly people who are early to bed due to tiredness, by about eight or nine at night, when it's completely dark, they're all in bed.
"Heh! This is strange! Hasn't this house been abandoned for a long time? How can there still be someone living in it now? And the lights are on?"
An old man, leaning on a cane and reeking of alcohol, was making his way home to sleep when he stumbled across a house with lights on and shadows moving inside, and he was surprised.
He had gone to drink with an old friend in the nearby village today.
